INOVA Bait Elastica 500m Mega Spool – Premium Bait Elastic NZ for Surfcasting

INOVA Elastica 500m Mega Spool is a high-quality bait elastic designed to keep soft and delicate fishing baits securely attached to your hook and rig. With a massive 500 metres per spool, it goes on and on — making it an excellent choice for regular New Zealand anglers.

Ideal for surfcasting, drone fishing, kontiki fishing, rock fishing and general saltwater fishing, INOVA Elastica helps prevent soft baits from flying off during powerful casts, being washed away by the surf or coming loose in strong currents.

500m of Bait Elastic That Goes On and On

If you use bait elastic regularly, you know how quickly a small spool can disappear. The INOVA 500m Mega Spool gives you plenty of elastic for preparing baits before and during your fishing trips.

Whether you're preparing a few baits for a weekend session or regularly fishing from the beach, drone or kontiki, the generous 500m spool provides excellent value and means you won't be running out of bait elastic anytime soon.

Available in 4 Strengths

Choose the strength that best suits your bait size, rig and fishing application:

• Light – Orange: ideal for smaller and more delicate baits.
• Medium – Green: a versatile option for general bait fishing.
• Heavy – Blue: suited to larger baits and stronger casting.
• EX Heavy – Red: maximum strength for large baits and demanding fishing situations.

Perfect for Surfcasting, Drone & Kontiki Fishing

INOVA Elastica is particularly useful when you need your bait to stay securely on the hook.

Surfcasting

Powerful surfcasting puts considerable stress on soft baits. Bait elastic helps hold squid, pilchards, bonito, shellfish and other baits securely on the hook during the cast and helps them withstand the impact when they hit the water.

Drone Fishing

When sending a bait out by drone, keeping the bait secure is essential. INOVA Elastica helps hold soft baits together while you're getting them into position and during deployment.

Kontiki Fishing

Kontiki fishing can leave baits exposed to current, movement and smaller fish. Securing your bait with elastic helps keep your bait presentation together for longer.

Great for Soft Baits

INOVA Elastica is ideal for securing a wide range of natural fishing baits, including:

• Pilchards
• Squid strips and squid heads
• Bonito and skipjack
• Mullet
• Mussels and other shellfish
• Crab and other soft baits
• Bait cocktails
• Other delicate baits used for surfcasting

Why Use Bait Elastic?

Bait elastic is a simple but extremely useful piece of terminal tackle for anglers using natural bait. Wrapping elastic around your bait and hook helps keep the bait together, reducing the chance of it flying off during the cast or being stripped away by waves and smaller fish.

It can also help create a more compact bait presentation, which is particularly useful when long-distance surfcasting.

For soft baits such as pilchard, squid and shellfish, bait elastic can make bait preparation easier and help keep the bait in place for longer.

How to Use Bait Elastic

1. Place your bait securely onto the hook.
2. Hold the bait firmly against the hook and rig.
3. Wrap the bait elastic around the bait and hook, applying enough tension to secure it.
4. Continue wrapping until the bait is firmly held together.
5. Break or snap the elastic when finished — no complicated knot is required.

Don't over-wrap the bait. The aim is to hold the bait securely while still allowing the hook point to remain exposed and the bait to maintain a natural presentation.
